I don't know how many here are familiar with AxelRose, the green/green variegated sport from P&C, but it was bred last fall to Rothkirch, L'Amour, Ecuador Pink, and Bonnie jean; the first pod fell early, so I don't know which quadrant it came from (I pollinate and mark a branch of blooms, rather mark each bloom separately) and even though the seeds were still white, I quickly put them in a plate of starter mix.
Most if not all variegates throw albino seedlings which quickly die; I presently have 10 Green seedlings!!! I'm hoping some will show variegation as they developer leaves, but it's early yet. Either way these will be bred back to Axel, and to each other. A good dark pink "breed able" variegate with long tendrils may be just ahead!!! Cross your fingers!! I still have 8 healthy seed pods hanging on too!
Here is a pic of Axel, for those not familiar with it, then one of the "new kids".
